Gift establishes new Shinjo Ito Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Buddhist Studies 
at UC Berkeley

 January 23, 2009

 BERKELEY - The Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of 
 California at Berkeley is pleased to announce the establishment
of the 
 Shinjo Ito Postdoctoral Fellowship in Buddhist Studies. The new 
 fellowship is supported by a generous $1 million gift from the 
 Shinnyo-en Foundation.

 The Shinjo Ito Postdoctoral Fellowship in Buddhist Studies will
offer 
 distinguished recent graduates of doctoral programs around the
world 
 the opportunity to spend one academic year, with the possibility
for 
 extension for a second academic year, at UC Berkeley's Center
for 
 Buddhist Studies. Fellowship recipients will have the
opportunity to 
 advance their research, as well as to contribute to the vitality
of 
 the Center for Buddhist Studies intellectual community through 
 participation in Center events, workshops, and teaching 
 responsibilities (one course per semester).

 The Shinnyo-en Order was established in 1938 by the Most
Venerable 
 Archbishop Shinjo Ito, who wished to foster among all people, 
 regardless of spiritual belief, a culture of active public
service as 
 a way to achieve lasting understanding and harmony. UC
Berkeley's 
 Center for Buddhist Studies is honored to enter into this
partnership 
 with Shinnyo-en, in the interest of promoting excellence in the
field 
 of Buddhist Studies.

 Applications for the first Shinjo Ito Postdoctoral Fellowship in

 Buddhist Studies will be solicited in the Fall of 2009, for 
 appointment to begin in the fall of 2010.
